3 gears in auto would give you 120 raw score, but is also very unlikely until proven not very unlikely. The autonomous codes will be very hard to coordinate for 3 alliance members, each laying a gear, and then moving out of the next bot's way so that they can as well. This also isn't a 2014 situation where gears can simply be touching your robot to be considered preloaded, leaving another (high-caliber) team to do all the scoring. Per 4.2 Game Setup - Gear - D. each team ... preload in their ROBOT

granted that there are three lifts on the air ship as stated in both the glossary and 3.4 the task of placing three gears becomes significantly easier than you are stating. To place three gears robots just have to go to separate lifts and place gears on their own designated lift to contribute to a three gear auto rather than all one after another place gears onto one lift.
